The Nipah Virus - Understanding Animal Research.
The causative agent was a previously undescribed paramyxovirus related to the Hendra virus. Close contact with infected pigs may be the source of the viral transmission. Clinically and epidemiologically the infection is distinct from infection by the Hendra virus. We propose that this Hendra-like virus was the cause of the outbreak of encephalitis in Malaysia.
International Contribution to Nipah Virus Research 1999-2010 H. Safahieh 1, S.A. Sanni1,. g. To identify the citations received by Nipah Virus papers. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY This study applied bibliometric approach to gather data on the productivity and research publications of Nipah Virus. The research publication on Nipah Virus produced from 1999 (initial detection of Nipah Virus) to 2010.
Literature Review. So far only one bibliometric study on international contribution to Nipah virus research during 1999-2010 was conducted by Safahieh, Sanni and Zainab, 6 which examined 462 papers on Nipah virus research, with a focus on identifying active authors, institutions, countries and citations received. Data was extracted from SCI-Expanded database, (Web of Science) and analyzed.
Nipah virus (NiV) causes an emerging infectious disease of public health importance particularly seen throughout Southeast Asia. The disease is either characterized by inflammation of the brain (encephalitis) or respiratory diseases. The causative agent can be transmitted from animals to humans and directly from human to human. NiV can also cause severe disease in domestic animals, including.
The 2018 Kerala Nipah virus outbreak was an outbreak of the Nipah virus in the state of Kerala, India, traced to the fruit bats in the area. The outbreak was localized in Kozhikode and Malappuram districts of Kerala and claimed 17 lives, The outbreak was contained and declared over on 10 June 2018.
Amongst 1077 journal papers (in 410 journals) in global Nipah virus research, the top 20 most productive journals contributed 40.39% share of total journal publication output during 1999-2018. Seventy nine (79) publications were found to be high cited, as they registered citations from 101-793 during 1999-2018 and they together received 114880 citations, which averaged to 188.359 citations per.
Abstract Background Nipah virus is a highly virulent zoonotic pathogen that can be transmitted between humans. Understanding the dynamics of person-to-person transmission is key to designing effect.
